Yes they let us race in the big city parks here... We never race the same course more than once year so it doesn't really do much damage to the grass ( which if I am lucky is frozen... Soggy ground kills the big guys ! )... A bumpy paddock and some bunting tape and you are away!

All entries go into the draw to win a Focus Mares CX bike (you will need to be at the final presentation on Sunday). We've also got some give aways and prizes from Torq, Continental, MucOff & Magellan.

It's a shame you didn't stick around JJ. There was a break after the open race (which is for non cx bikes) - an official practice session for the men's and women's elite races. Smaller crowds than the other national rounds, but well organised at a good venue with tough technical courses.

Mel Anset won the women's both days (go Mel!); Adrian Jackson took round 5 on Saturday and Sid Taberlay (fresh from CrossVegas) round 6 on Sunday, with an awe-inspiring display riding out of the snake pit. Lisa Jacobs and Adrian Jackson take the inaugural NCXS titles.

Fantastic job by the organisers, their vollies, all the riders and noise-makers. Nice headstart on the tan lines and definitely the most fun you can have.
